[1] In a more narrow sense, Podozamites has been used to refer to the leaves of a probably monophyletic group of deciduous broad leafed voltzialean conifers which lived in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly East Asia and Siberia, during the Late Triassic to early Late Cretaceous, where it formed part of wet coal swamp communities.
[1] In the right conditions, Podozamites leaves sensu stricto preserve delicate cuticle and insect damage, and are thought to have been regularly shed.
[3] The Krassilovia cone is roughly spherical and consists of densley packed interlocking overlapping bract-scale complexes surrounding a central axis.
Over the course of the Jurassic, the distribution shifted northwards in response to the drying of the lower latitudes, becoming restricted to between 60 and 30 degrees north by the Early Cretaceous.
Podozamites senus stricto would become extinct during the Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous, coincident with the arrival of flowering plants into the Siberian region.
